Amber N. McMurry

Amber N. McMurry serves as a procurement professional specializing in aerospace and avionics acquisitions, playing a critical role in advancing mission-critical capabilities for national defense and aviation systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—focusing on high-technology components essential to modern aircraft operations. Her work supports the development and sustainment of advanced aeronautical systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical performance standards. She routinely handles complex, engineering-intensive procurements requiring rigorous technical evaluation and supplier qualification. McMurry’s contracting activity centers on a select group of Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace manufacturers and subsystem suppliers with proven expertise in aircraft integration and avionics development. While no specific contractors are identified in current data, her portfolio consistently engages firms capable of delivering precision-engineered components, flight control systems, and mission-critical instrumentation. Her working relationships emphasize technical capability, quality assurance, and timely delivery, with a preference for vendors possessing AS9100 certification and demonstrated experience in defense-grade manufacturing. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 20% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though she primarily awards contracts without set-aside restrictions—reflecting the specialized nature of her technical requirements—she actively promotes small business engagement through targeted outreach and collaborative market engagement events, ensuring competitive opportunities for qualified firms. McMurry’s primary focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). She procures flight avionics, sensor suites, navigation modules, and auxiliary systems integral to military and civil aircraft platforms. Her domain expertise encompasses embedded systems, electronic warfare support, and flight-critical hardware, positioning her as a key player in sustaining next-generation aerospace capabilities.
